Ancient History A2 will be the death of me.

[Mocking_bird]

Going to get another chemistry booklet done... Alkali Earth Metals I reckon.
Finish off the gaseous exchange in plants for Biology.
Maybe do a bit of geography which I can never find motivation for.

Or, end up procrastinating and getting 1/3 of those done

[acedlol]

The Geography mountain is slowly beginning to tumble

[alexsasg]

I keep getting distracted, have done half a page of sociology today. 150ish pages to go...

[Iepnauy]

My day so far:

-Start individual investigation
-5 minutes later... Look up stethoscopes online...
-Hours later... Back to individual investigation O_o"
-Work done on individual investigation? Not much

[AmyLH]

Today:
- Go over enzymes
- Go over alcohols
- Go over alkenes
- Write up notes on fossils
- GL1 past paper 58%
- C2 past paper 71%
- Transformation questions from textbook
- Go over correlation and regression

I'm actually getting worse the more I do! Can't believe how much difference there is between what I was getting for C1 past papers and these

What topics are you dropping marks on?

It's April. You have like, 1 solid month and a bit to perfect it! Perhaps you havent understood the concepts well enough yet? Maybe you should do the review exercises first and then get on to the P.Ps. Also, are you learning from your mistakes? I tend to find I make similar mistakes in every paper; learning from mistakes means that you wont have to worry about making that silly error again in the next paper.

Finished Alkali Earth Metals for chem.
Started doing some practice Sigma questions for C2 but it gave me a headache.. might retry after dinner.

Got 87/100 UMS which I was a bit annoyed about. Was getting 95%+ constantly the week before the exam

Transformations, logs, trig, and graphs (I've made a list)

I know, it's just getting me down a bit - I was thinking it was going to be as easy as C1 which was a silly assumption.

I've made a list of stuff I'm dropping marks on and so I'll do textbook questions on them for a bit now.

I was like this when doing C1 and C2 past papers last year.
I didn't externally sit either of those, so I've just started redoing them - try getting 80%+ on C3/4 ones, and then 65% on C1 and C2 :P

that's a good score considering people were saying that was a harder than normal paper. C2 , for some is easier than C1, and the other way round for other people.

In the real exams, I got 94 ums for C1 (i could have got 100, but being me, i made some stupid mistakes) but when it came to C2, i lost my head and got the lowest of my three, 74 ums. There was a question that got alot of us in the exam, on the June 2011 C2 paper, you might wanna check it out. Something to do with a circle inside the sector of another circle. Pretty interesting question it has to be said

im assuming your on edexcel?

Way ahead of me then.

The topics are fairly similar though, so it isn't as though you're all over the place. And needless to say, that isn't a bad percentage at this time. Just keep at it and don't be too disheartened.

Aha
Yeah, I've started doing some textbook questions and starting to get bits and pieces now so I feel a lot better than earlier

and for chemistry, your on aqa again if im not mistaken?

[chickenonsteroids]

Right now i'm just reading through notes.. I feel like that's a bad thing
